Leave your thoughts about The Apparition.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA ghastly 'Paranormal Activity'-inspired ghost story with Lovecraftian overtones...[and] the worst ending since 'The Devil Inside.' |
| Entertainment WeeklyKeith StaskiewiczWith more telegraphed scares than Samuel Morse on Halloween, it still might give you a restless night, but only because you fell asleep in the theater. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordEverything ends with Kelly back at the Costco where they bought their tent and one keeps hoping for the guys from "The Watch" to pop in to liven things up. Or Sigourney Weaver from "Red Lights" to expose the fraud. "The Apparition" is simply abysmal. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsIt's a potentially creepy setting that would give an innovative director a chance to do a lot with a little. Unfortunately, Lincoln isn't one of those. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThe trailer for The Apparition contained more story than the picture it was promoting. In fact, I think the trailer for The Apparition is actually more of a movie than The Apparition. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe shortest flick this summer is also one of the worst, a ghastly ghost story that fails to deliver its generic goods on any level. |
| Mania.comRob VauxThe bare-bones framework of an utterly generic horror story, devoid of thrills, jolts or even an interesting hook. |
| NewsdayFrank LoveceFor casual viewers desiring a few scares, some suspense and a sustained sense of dread and malevolence, you could do worse. |
| Dread CentralHeather WixsonThe movie isn't scary and plays it way too safe, making for an underwhelming experience for this horror fan. |
| CinemaDopeGlenn LovellTodd Lincoln, in his directorial debut, shows the restraint of a young Val Lewton. Things go bad oh-so-slowly ... |
